Linked events?

Linked events? You mean like one event leading to another related event based on what you chose? That sounds cool.

Exactly that, Fulgrymm. Like, if you enslave the people on a planet, they might later rise against you or stuff.
Many people asked for something like that and I remember once reading that Stardock was working on it, so I wonder what became of it.

And very very much hope it will come sooner or later - it is more or less the only thing I miss in the expansion, the rest (especially the Hyperlinks) are great!

There is one linked event in 1.05 that I know of. The Space zoo (or whatever it is called). Although you don't have much control over whether you get it (it is voted on by the council), sometime in the future the "space sharks" escape! . I always vote for someone else to get it because, eventhough it gives you extra money, invariably they escape and wreak havoc in your home sector. There has been one game when another major recieved the space zoo and the sharks never escaped. I don't know if it was because of something they did or if the game ended before the sharks escaped.
Of course there is the "good, neutral, evil" choices that spring up on some planets and your decision determines what alignment you are, thus giving you "linked events" in a general way. Any others out there? :notsure:

The Space Zoo is not an event, rather it is a United Planets issue. Events refer to the morality decisions that you are forced to make when they pop up randomly throughout the game. On another note, the Space Sharks will not escape if you build up a large enough fleet in the orbit of the planet that the Zoo is on.

Thanks for the tip....I didn't know the fleet build up would deter shark escapes. The UP "issue" is something that happens randomly to different races (depending on influence votes) and may or may not have cosequences down the road.....sounds like an event to me.

Well, there is already the terrorist event where a minor race appears on the map and starts poisoning planets after a while. If you conquer them, you get a message saying that you killed the terrorists. That sounds linked to me. And then there is like a dark cult one where you are given warnings about the growing power of the cult until one day it is either defeated by an extremely high espionage rating or it turns into something horrible. (Was that the Dreadlords? I forget.) That is linked. So linked events are already in the game. It is just how many more are being devised.

Ah, missed that. Are you referring to the Venge? They appeared in one of my games but the Arceans conquered them before they could do anything.
And it is the Dread Lords that high espionage defeats.
